ROOSEVELT, Utah – A Duchesne County man turned himself in for attacking another man with a hatchet.

Police went to the home and found 62-year-old Guy Thomas. He suffered a broken nose, severe bruising and a cut to his lower lip.

Gardner was charged with aggravated assault, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
